SLASH: What's your favorite book?

[MperRluvR]

I have never seen a thread on this but was just wondering what everyone's personal favorite book is IN REGARDS TO THE SALTWATER HOBBY. Don't answer with the Da Vinci Code.


I'll Start:

I think that it is an absolute must have and great source of information. (And I haven't even gotten all the way through it)

Calfo and Fenner are great guys too!

Da Vinci Code

That's a good book.

Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever found a single book that I would be willing to hang my hat on so I'm forced to buy several.

It seems that even the "experts" don't agree with other "experts" so I like to read several and form my own opinions based on the information that I get from several authors.

Ditto but I do find I use that pocket guide to reef invertebrates by Dr. Shimek a lot.

I enjoy "How To" books myself, like Greg Capobianco's "How to Care for a Saltwater Tank in your Old Age" ...what can I say, I like to plan for the future WAY in advance.

 

[capncapo]

I don't think I'd worry too much about the future if I were you Malinda!

Just a little "friendly" advice.

Great author though!

Does Playboy qualify as a book?

Magazine... not a book. Technically I think a book is also something that is not published weekly or monthly....

However that is a fine choice.

i hesitate to buy a book like that. since the internet is so easily available to me.

Not at all... Ever watch "Girls next Door?" My wife actually watches that.. I happen to know that They have a huge Saltwater tank at the Playboy Mansion...

So the argument could be made...

And with that logic....
The menu at Red Lobster.... They have lobster tanks.
